Brian Gay just finished his second round of the Heritage Classic with a 4-under-par 67. The round included five birdies and a lone bogey (on the tough par four 4th, ranked second-toughest on the course) and birdies on the closing hole of each nine. As I write, his two day total of 66-67=133 puts him in a tie for second.
I remember talking with him in Atlanta and mentioning that he should do well at Hilton Head.
"Harbour Town's a tough course," said I, "but not too long, and the winning score is usually one of the higher numbers on TOUR."
"Yeah, that's what my friends have always told me. But I play there every year, and I've only made the cut once."
"That was the old Brian. This is the new Brian. I think you might surprise a few people this time 'round. Maybe even yourself."
And now on this Friday afternoon he sits high atop the Leader Board at nine-under. Which, I'm sure, really is a surprise to some people. But not to me. No sir, ol' Yoda isn't surprised at all...
